Christmas Cookies!

Last Saturday after lunch at Mama T's, my 2 aunts, 2 cousins, mom, grandma and I all gathered around the table to decorate Christmas cookies! We had a blast. This is something we've been doing for several years, and it's such a fun tradition. I can't wait until I have children to start the tradition with as well!

So of course, I brought the camera along, and captured the fun! (side note: unfortunately the Photoshop trial ran out, so I'm back to using my craptastic replacement program. It's better than nothing though. Hopefully Santa will bring me the real live version on Christmas! *hint hint*)

We started out with tons of plain cookies, and plenty of sprinkles!

And after some trial and error, we finally nailed the frosting process down :)

As you can see, we used every inch of that table, and made quite a mess!

Shelley's idea for reindeer cookies...

This was Caitlin's "Christmas Tree Army"

And, in following tradition, everyone gets a photo with their tray of cookies!

And Me!

Aunt Rhonda decorated a few cookies too...but they somehow magically dissappeared before I could get a picture... ;)

There are still a few of these cookies lingering in the G household...but not for long!
